8 Traced down, thanks to the help I got on-bug. It was a PEBCAK in the
9 form of a bum qt-4.4.0-svn-snapshot ebuild from the forums (needed for
10 kde-svn-head, as kde 4.1 will require qt-4.4.0). The bum ebuild put some
11 garbage in a file in /etc/env.d/ that is in turn used by env-update to
12 generate /etc/ld.so.conf, thus putting garbage in it. libtool was trying
13 to parse that garbage and of course failing. Fixing the ebuild (well,
14 tested by reverting to an in-tree version of it, qt-4.3.4,
15 FEATURES=binpkg makes that about a ten second job) and remerging solved
16 the problem. =8^)

18 It's anyone's guess how long it would have taken me to figure that out on
19 my own, as I hadn't the foggiest what to check next, given that I'd
20 already tried the usual CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS/MAKEOPTS resets and
21 revdep-rebuild wasn't helping either. The devs pointed me right to it,
22 even if it wasn't their bug that was the problem. =8^)
